I have been asked by my boss at work to look into allowing widgets on our home page that can be dragged and dropped and the setup saved for each logged in user (or maybe done by cookies so user doesn’t need to be logged in).
Are there any out of the box (preferably free) libraries that can be used? If it requires server side functionality then that’s got to be c#/.NET.
I can probably put something together myself but it seemed very much like it is reinventing the wheel. 🙂
And this is my first question just asking for a recommendation so I’m not sure if this is the right place or if I should put in more details.
An example of the kind of thing I want is http://www.google.com/ig.
And sorry if this isn’t a well formed question. I wasn’t sure where else or how else to ask it. 🙂
jQuery & jQuery-UI will do this out of the box if you use the
sortablefunction. The “portlets” demo seems to fit your description. You’ll still need to save state manually, but that shouldn’t be too difficult with an event listener.
